There are several purposes of personification as rhetoric but it is mostly to humanize inanimate objects or nonhuman animals by allowing them to perform human actions. (e.g. the alarm clock shrieked)

The purpose of personification is to explain, and give vivid examples and images for the reader. Also, this expands the readers knowledge with the descriptions and comparisons the author uses.
